The problem, IMHO, is that GDB's application level doesn't tell the
target-specific low-end that it's time to clean up the watchpoint
related data structures. The DJGPP port uses mourn_inferior to do
that, but this might not be a good general solution, especially since
so many popular targets use the generic version of mourning.
I think we need to have code that explicitly cleans up watchpoints
when the debuggee exits.
